Advent 1: Fire. 11.30.25.

In this Advent, we hear a set of 4 biblical stories that foreground the 4 elements of nature: fire, air, water, and earth. The creation itself appears to witness to and long for God’s arrival. We wait, with heaven and nature, for the joy that is coming to the whole world.Advent begins with fire. We hear a story from Daniel about 3 men whom an evil emperor tries to destroy in a fiery furnace. But God has other plans for these men, for the emperor, and for fire itself. Rev. Lewicki, preaching.
